• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QM_API_ODATA_MSG213 - Only catalog type '3' supported for usage decision (inspection lot &1) ?

  The SAP error message QM_API_ODATA_MSG213 indicates that there is an issue with the catalog type being used for a usage decision in the Quality Management (QM) module. Specifically, it states that only catalog type '3' is supported for the usage decision of the specified inspection lot.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to make a usage decision for an inspection lot using a catalog type that is not supported. In SAP QM, catalog types are used to classify defects or issues found during inspections. Catalog type '3' is typically used for usage decisions, while other catalog types may not be applicable.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that you are using the correct catalog type when making a usage decision. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Catalog Type: Verify that the catalog type you are using is indeed '3'. You can do this by checking the configuration in the SAP system or by reviewing the data being sent in the OData request.
  
  
  Adjust the OData Request: If you are using an OData service to make the usage decision, ensure that the request payload specifies catalog type '3'. If you are using a different catalog type, modify the request accordingly.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are unsure about the catalog types configured in your system, you can review the settings in the SAP Quality Management configuration. This can typically be found under:
  
  SPRO ? Quality Management ? Quality Inspection ? Inspection Lot ? Usage Decision ? Define Catalogs
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on catalog types and their usage in the context of usage decisions.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the usage decision process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
